About The Position

A kind and busy downtown-based family of six is looking to add a full-time or par-time nanny to their team. The family has has four children (ages 4, 3, and 6-month-old twins) but the main focus will be the non-verbal 3 year old. The family already has one full-time caregiver and is in the process of adding another to their team. The role can be Monday through Friday or weekend hours and is completely open dependent on the candidates availability. They are looking for a candidate who is fluent in American Sign Language. The family is looking for the best and willing to compensate appropriately.

Candidates should ideally have experience working with children with special needs or a background in fields such as physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), speech therapy, or special education. Drawing on this experience, they should be able to thoughtfully structure the toddler’s time and actively support his developmental progress.
